Best practice RDS backup

Posted over in the RDS forum and got pointed over here.

I just want to know what is the best way to backup my RDS environment is. Its a 4 node hyper v cluster(compute) and a 2 node scale out file server(Storage). 

We have another hyper v cluster (for servers) that we backup using DPM. That works but that would be a TON of data transfer for doing the 150 virtual machines we have in our RDS setup.

Please advise.

These are Personal collection type in RDS. Meaning every machine is potentially unique and owned by a single user.

I guess i will just throw together a DPM box and backup the hyper v nodes like a I do our server but i am afraid of the load this is going to cause. But i guess i don't have any other options. I am surprised since i have "the standard" setup of RDS there is not a best practice guide to back it up.
